SDRAM
a form of dynamic RAM memory that is about 20% faster than EDO RAM.
SDRAM interleaves two or more internal memory arrays so that while one
array is being accessed, the next one is being prepared for access.
SDRAM-II is a faster version of SDRAM technology.
slave
a functional part of a PXI device that detects data transfer cycles initiated
by a PXI bus master and responds to the transfers when the address
specifies one of the device’s registers
SO-DIMM
Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Module
SRAM
Static RAM—a memory chip that requires power to hold its content. It does
not require refresh circuitry as a dynamic RAM chip, but it does take up
more space and uses more power.
T
TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol—a connection-oriented,
reliable protocol, while IP is a connectionless protocol. It is standardized
by RFC793.
